Race for a Cause
The holidays mean spending time with family, great decorations, gift-giving and so many other things. They also involve lots of occasions with heavy food and drinks, and the holiday weight gain that can follow.

Enjoy prime East Texas fall weather and some of the best area scenery at events like these:
